Charlie Sauss — a 70-year-old musician and Vietnam vet — called Tuesday's elections "probably the most important election in my lifetime" and said he "reluctantly" voted for Rose "because he's a Democrat, and that's it."
He added that "in any other year" he would have voted for Donovan, who he generally likes, but this year he wants to see "everything flipped."
"I voted straight Democrat, but I'm an independent," he said, calling Trump a "devil." "I didn't care who they were, what name was on there, I voted for Democrats."
Sauss said Rose's abundant advertising and constant mention of his military experience has irritated him.
"He mentions the Army too much and I find it offensive," Sauss said. "How many times is he gonna say it and in how many ways?"
